Quotes about unused, page 3
Come Slowly
Come slowly,
Eden
Lips unused to thee.
Bashful, sip thy jasmines,
As the fainting bee,
Reaching late his flower,
Round her chamber hums,
Counts his nectars -alights,
And is lost in balms!

Broken Toys
Broken toys
Lie in the back
Unused, untouched, unloved
Misfits with something wrong
Sit behind the rest
Unwelcomed, shunned, pitied
Broken toys lie scattered about
Tossed aside
Still they wait

Come slowly—Eden!
Come slowly—Eden!
Lips unused to Thee—
Bashful—sip thy Jessamines—
As the fainting Bee—
Reaching late his flower,
Round her chamber hums—
Counts his nectars—
Enters—and is lost in Balms.

Joanna points her camera at a section of society unused to having cameras pointed at it. But I don't know about categorizing them in terms of class; I'm a bit wary of that. My dad is the son of a shipbuilder.

The Conversion of Aurelian McGoggin
Ride with an idle whip, ride with an unused heel,
But, once in a way, there will come a day
When the colt must be taught to feel
The lash that falls, and the curb that galls, and the sting
of the rowelled steel.

A House Full Of Peace
no laughter from children
no conversations from visitors
a couple not on terms with each other
closed doors and windows
dusty slippers
empty thermos bottles
rusty door knobs
unused toothpaste
hard water
unfolded blankets
cold pillows

Music a God Forgotten
Music - an expression of the soul
Instrument - projection of emotion
Unused it lay as a God forgotten
Possessing the most magnificent of powers
Yet unable to shower its potential unless there is
One alive who is knowledgeable in its art.

The Virgen
The virgen,
Like unused engine,
Caught my eyes,
Intruded my heart
Into my house
And broke my heart.
.
No! not the girl
I thought I saw.
Not the one I caught
Not the one that
Fed me with sand.
.
For although she
Had a husband
She told me she
Was a virgen,
- a maiden.

Twist 10
what we have thrown away
as garbage
or extra baggage
or unused luggage sometimes
come to us asking
why
and since we are definite
as eyes that never
blink on truth
we respond to all these
in that respect of
silence
deep inside we swear
we owe no one an explanation
not even
to our very selves

Powerless...
he has steel hands
arms are made of platinum poles
the brains from
specialized computer chips
he is as sharp as an unused
sword
but he is useless in this struggle
for power
last night the old witch
betrayed him
a single lock of his hair
is taken by that woman
of use,
now, lies another Samson
defeated
but not yet dead.
